Residents in a coastal town reported a strong earthquake shaking followed by a brief tsunami warning, prompting evacuations and delayed school closures. Local authorities said there were no immediate reports of severe damage, but several homes sustained broken windows and power outages affected nearby neighborhoods.
Emergency services conducted rapid safety checks, urging residents to stay clear of coastal areas until authorities deemed it safe. The national meteorological agency later lifted the tsunami advisory, confirming no major waves observed and service restoration proceeding gradually.
Authorities emphasized ongoing reviews of building codes and emergency response readiness as searches continue for any hidden damage and injuries. Residents expressed relief but called for improved communication and more frequent drills to better prepare for future events.
